Emptiness is surely at the heart of Buddhist philosophy. Different schools present emptiness in different ways. Karr presents the views of a variety of these schools, from the Vaibhasika to the Shentong. He follows quite closely the program of Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso Rinpoche's book Progressive Stages of Mediation on Emptiness.

Another useful aspect of this book is the explanation of how this kind of conceptual reflection meshes with meditation. Karr does a good job of explaining how working with concepts can enable one to become free of entrapment in concepts.

This book is probably too specialized to be a good introduction to Buddhism. But even as a second book it could work. Karr carefully introduces the terms and concepts along the way. This is an excellent introduction to emptiness.

The Practice of Contemplative Photography: Seeing the World with Fresh Eyes
by Andy Karr

Rating: 4.5 stars
*Highly recommended*

Walk down any photography section in either your local bookstore or library and you are sure to be inundated with books about the technical aspects of photography. You will find books on posing your subjects, composing your shots and how to manipulate them in post production with the latest software. It is no secret that knowing the ins and outs of these things will help you produce great 'technically' correct images. But what about the all-important subject?

In this comprehensive guide, you will learn that visual imagery is not the same as seeing. With complete explanations, colorful images and various 'assignments', you will begin the process of 'seeing' the world in its unfiltered form.

This book is perfect for any photographer, beginner to intermediate, who is seeking to open their minds creatively. Given the opportunity to slow down, to clear your mind of pre-conceived ideas and to be 'in the moment', you will learn to recognize those brief seconds that grab your attention and hold it there until your shutter clicks.

Before you invest in another camera, lens or other piece of equipment, you need to read this!

Favorite quote from the book: "Creativity is something to be uncovered, not something to be wished for."
